Gold! Haiti eyes potential $20 billion bonanza

This is great news for this African island. A handful of men will get rich, and the rest will continue to rape, murder and spread HIV.
"Its capital is blighted with earthquake rubble. Its countryside is shorn of trees, chopped down for fuel. And yet, Haiti's land may hold the key to relieving centuries of poverty, disaster and disease: There is gold hidden in its hills — and silver and copper, too."

You're right. It's an island full of Africans, and Sean Penn.

you sure do NOT know your geography.
it is a country on a island called Hispaniola. which is in the Caribbean. the location of it is 19° 0&#8242; 0&#8243; N, 71° 0&#8242; 0&#8243; W

I'm quite the expert when it comes to geography, but I guess you're too stupid to understand the sarcasm. You can blame your condition. BTW didn't you used to work at Camp Snoopy at the mall?

It is an African Island......How the Africans got there is not relevant.....It is 100% a country that has been ruled by the African Culture since the liberated slaves went there and brought their culture with them.

This is what Amerika will look like if you ignorant Leftists continue to allow the Feminist Victim Teachers indoctrinate your children with the Newspeak of Cultural Diversity!

Sheeple on the Plantation demanding that the Master feed them.....Just as it is in Amerika today......Only problem is that today the dependents demand sustanance without any contribution to the effort.

Dey be gots "rights"....jes aks um.

technically the only way it can be considered a African island. is if it is either a island in a lake or river that is in Africa. or is in a certain distance from Africa.
since it is part of the Carribean. it is NOT African. plus, Haiti does NOT occupy the whole island. there is another country that is on the island as well. the country known as the Dominican Republic has the greater amount of land that comprises the island.
to say it is a African island is just as erroneous as saying that America is a British island due to the amount of English folks who settled here. as well as it is erroneous to think that the landmass that is Haiti comprises the whole island of Hispaniola
